A High Sierra Christmas by Mark Stephen Taylor
Wow what a story about the high sierra mountains and the story of Jeremiah Jackson.

He approached Rod Florea, to ask him for his and his friend Mitch Holland’s help in finding the trail the Anasazi took when they left their cliff homes in the Chaco Canyon.
